This is how I work too tbh. Yes, you get more work, but then if it really becomes too much, they will just assign others to help you out (at least, that’s how it always went with me) and then you start delegating. You drill them, they become good, you delegate more. That frees up time for you to actually improve and automate stuff, freeing up more time for the delegates, allowing you to focus even more on making their and your life easier.

I’m in IT, so this might not work in every job type, but I’ve done this in every position I was in and it always worked so far.

I can’t even imagine this actually happening, even at the better companies I’ve worked at. Closest I’ve seen is when someone is so overloaded that they quit, then management decides to hire two people to replace them so they can “catch up”.

  Maybe it’s a cultural thing? I’ve only ever worked for Belgian and Dutch companies (and one Austrian one, but that was a project of only a couple of months).
  
  All those companies were meritocratic and had an active agenda of nurturing talent.

    Oh yeah that sounds nice, it’s almost certainly a cultural thing haha. Here in the US it sucks.
